Who:Miu MiuWhat it made us think of: A self-titled "quirky" girl's crafty idea of retro.What we liked: Black and sherbet, ruffle patch pockets, embellishments, this cute frockWhat we didn't:Skirted ankles, insanely short skirts with horizontal ruffs, bandeau jumpers, blah boring blah...Who:Sonia RykielWhat it made us think of: A cardigan pinned together as a skirt.

Otherwise, most of the collection could have come from anyone.
